Item - 2024.EY13.9

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the permanent closure of those portions of Bloor Street West, Dundas Street West, and Kipling Avenue described as Parts 2, 3, and 4 on Plan 66R-31546 (the "Dunkip Park Lands") as shown on Attachment 1 to the report (April 24, 2024) from the Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services;

2. City Council authorize the permanent closure of those portions of Dundas Street West and Kipling Avenue described as Parts 2 and 3 on Plan 66R-31318 (the "Six Points Park Lands") as shown on Attachment 2 to the report (April 24, 2024) from the Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services; and

3. City Council enact a by-law substantially in the form of the draft by-law attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 24, 2024) from the Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services.

As this report recommends the permanent closure of several portions of public highways, City Council approval is required.

Transportation Services recommends that those portions of Bloor Street West, Dundas Street West, and Kipling Avenue, shown on the registered plans of survey appended hereto as Attachment 1 and 2 be permanently stopped up and closed.

Once closed, it is intended that operational management of the former highway lands will be transferred to Parks, Forestry and Recreation ("PF&R") to facilitate construction of Dunkip Park and expansion of Six Points Park.
